Welcome to our new Website,

In an effort to increase and improve communication, we have introduced a more functional Web site with the focus on the dissemination of what I hope is most applicable to your needs. In order to address your needs, I will have an ear or should I say "eye" on your feedback. This will be the medium for the mutual exchange of ideas, concerns and requests. This will also give you direct contact with company principals in order to directly respond to any issues or questions that you might have.

I wanted to let you know that I just received a new shipment of Certified Cam and Rod Bearings. This will greatly assist in the ongoing goal of assembling new engines, both certified and experimental. The part numbers are 17739 and 17707. This shipment will augment the large supply of oversized bearings already in stock. The work is ongoing to increase the supply of other critically needed parts to support the Franklin community. I will keep you posted on further developments.
